Summary:This review considers dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) and some other metabolites of nitric oxide (NO) in plants. Nitric oxide is vital for all living organisms, although its role in plants has been studied insufficiently compared with that in animals. We presume that the spectrum of its functions in plants is even wider than in animals. The main NO metabolites could be S-nitrosothiols, DNICs and peroxynitrite. Of particular interest are pro- and antioxidant properties of these compounds. DNICs function and their potential biosynthetic role in plants are practically unknown and brought to the limelight in this review. Since the process of NO biosynthesis in plants is still under discussion, we also specially examine this problem.
